Okay my friend gae me his ramair2 hood to fix and prep to sell to his cuzin for his 86 firebird. any way the hood has a few good chips inthem and i was woundering what i could use to fix these chips? i havent worked it fiberglass like the resin and fibers before but i learn fast. ialso have body filler with fiberglass renforcment and says its good for metal, fiberglass , etc repairs. im goin to post a few pics of the basicly chuncks out ofthe hood.

 

heres 3 pics of the 2 chunks/chips taken out of the hood.

 

another pic

 

what do you guys think ????

 

ok easiest way to do it is to get a peice of backing like carboard, ductape it to the back and use a fiberglass resin(real thick) build it up slowly and buff it. should work out fine i did it before on a neighbors boat

 

okay do i have to use a hardener to mix in with the resin or do i just apply the resin slowly wait till it hardens then add more? i was readin a few old post about the cardboard, but now that you basiclly made it more clearer i full understand.

 

you must mix in hardener otherwise the fiberglass will NEVER harden it will always stay sticky and soft

 

okay kool, i just wasnt sure if the fiberglass resin needed a hardener added to it like bondo. okay then i guess ill be stoppin at the autostore and gettin some supplys.

 

use microballons in with the resins will add more strength

 

well today i picked up the fiberglass resin and hardner, sand paper, and Auto-prep. ive never heard of those microballons, what are they?

but will the fiberglass resin bestrong enuff with out them anyway?
